You posted here, and responded to a response to your original post. That's a total of three actions: writing, reading, and writing a second time. And you still say you don't care?

Are you serious? Yeah, guy, 2 minutes out of my life, whatever will I do? PC gaming is IRRELEVANT. No one cares. Get it thru your heads.

2 more actions from you. That's a total of five. And you even got bitter :lol: Make that six. Here's a hint: those who don't care don't even open the thread.

By the way, I care, as well as 5 of my friends, so you fail.

Thanks for sharing your opinion pimp dog

It's not pimp_dog, I can assure you that. Their syntax, grammar and diction don't match.

[QUOTE="ZIMdoom"]

[QUOTE="XenogearsMaster"]A big chunk of that are MMORPGs... and this number is worldwide while the NPD report for consoles are only for NA.XenogearsMaster

It also includes microtransactions and online advertising. the PC alliance says they include these numbers because places like NPD don't track it. But if NPD doesn't track it, then those revenue aren't included in the console number either. Therefore, what are the console profits if we add in microtransactions (ie. Home, horse armour, alternate costumes, themes, etc), online advertising (how is this even counted as "software sales"), and subscription fees (ie. XBL fees, FF11 and soon FF13).

In other words, in my opinion, the PC Alliance is once again stacking their deck to create the illusion that game sales are skyrocketing while console sales are dropping. However, once again, their data doesn't prove the point they claim they are trying to make. They are intentionally stacking the deck to inflate their numbers, then comparing it to consoles which they know won't have that information added in.

Exactly, I didn't quite get why they would include online advertising... The inclusion seems like damage control.

The fact that you're still bashing PC gaming because it isn't 5390457349857 times more profitable than console gaming is damage control as well.

[QUOTE="devious742"]

[QUOTE="XenogearsMaster"] Nope, what you saw there are worldwide sales including micro-transactions and online advertising which is not tracked by the NPD group who only tracked sales in NA, not worldwide for the consoles.XenogearsMaster

you make it seem like 80% of sales are from micro-transactions and online advertising...when in fact this article is mostly about the decline of retail and the shift towards steam and other online DD services...

If I can make a guess, I would say that micro-transactions and online advertising is 20%, 30 to 35% for MMORPGs (WoW, RuneScape, etc...), retail sales are in fact 20% and that leaves DD at 25% to 30%.

So basically, the real software sales(Retail and DD) count for50 to 55% which is $6.5 billion or more which is divided by 3 (NA, Europe, Asia) $2.2 billion dollar for each territory, which is a small percentage compared to consoles.

LOL @ thePC gamers boasting.

So your wild guess can disprove statistics? Damn, I wish I had God powers like you did. Can you grow a money tree too?

And I've always wondered why console fanboys have so much contempt towards MMO's. It's not "teh hardcorez" enough for you guys? Or are you just too cool to play WOW?

Except it's going to be in 720p, with some input lag, and no mod support. No thanks.

This would make a great novel, or short story, but unfortunately you have nothing but speculation. Not a single grain of evidence. That's too bad.

Of course console fanboys are ALL going to ignore this thread. How convenient.
